SVN rev 200853 on 2009-12-22 18:57:07Z by yongari
Add bus_dma(9) and endianness support to ste(4).
o Sorted includes and added missing header files.
o Added basic endianness support. In theory ste(4) should work on
any architectures.
o Remove the use of contigmalloc(9), contigfree(9) and vtophys(9).
o Added 8 byte alignment limitation of TX/RX descriptor.
o Added 1 byte alignment requirement for TX/RX buffers.
o ste(4) controllers does not support DAC. Limit DMA address space
to be within 32bit address.
o Added spare DMA map to gracefully recover from DMA map failure.
o Removed dead code for checking STE_RXSTAT_DMADONE bit. The bit
was already checked in each iteration of loop so it can't be true.
o Added second argument count to ste_rxeof(). It is used to limit
number of iterations done in RX handler. ATM polling is the only
consumer.
o Removed ste_rxeoc() which was added to address RX stuck issue
(cvs rev 1.66). Unlike TX descriptors, ST201 supports chaining
descriptors to form a ring for RX descriptors. If RX descriptor
chaining is not supported it's possible for controller to stop
receiving incoming frames once controller pass the end of RX
descriptor which in turn requires driver post new RX
descriptors to receive more frames. For TX descriptors which
does not support chaning, we exactly do manual chaining in
driver by concatenating new descriptors to the end of previous
TX chain.
Maybe the workaround was borrowed from other drivers that does
not support RX descriptor chaining, which is not valid for ST201
controllers. I still have no idea how this address RX stuck
issue and I can't reproduce the RX stuck issue on DFE-550TX
controller.
o Removed hw.ste_rxsyncs sysctl as the workaround was removed.
o TX/RX side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support.
o Reimplemented optimized ste_encap().
o Simplified TX logic of ste_start_locked().
o Added comments for TFD/RFD requirements.
o Increased number of RX descriptors to 128 from 64. 128 gave much
better performance than 64 under high network loads.
